Turin International Airport

Here is stored one of the main and most famous shrines of the Christian world - the Shroud of Turin, attracting numerous pilgrims to the city. Once on the site of Turin there was a settlement of Celtic-Ligurian tribes, later a Roman colony, and traces of these historical periods were preserved in the city, along with the majestic royal palaces of the 13th century and the adjacent chic gardens.

Founded in 1953 on the site of a military airfield, the terminal building was modernized in 2005 in order to receive guests of the Winter Olympics. Waiting for a flight can be reduced by visiting duty-free shops, lunch in a cafe and a glass of wine in a bar. The terminal has a children's playground, a room for meditation and prayer, representative offices of travel agencies and a rental car rental desk.
